Business jet on the grass last week Geneva.
Usually if there’s a sniff of anything to do with aviation this site is inundated with information, right or wrong.
I've not heard a thing about lasts weeks excursion, read about it in the newspapers, friends have mentioned it, but nothing here.
Have I missed the thread?

did you check the avherald?
Aeritime is suggesting it was a runway overshoot: https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/g...rshoots-runway

Just seems weird nothing about it has been mentioned, normally someone has put up the whole days metars, who we can blame and what we can learn from it… And now the conspiracy theory, there’s more to it and it’s being blocked on here by those in power 😀
And a nicely-shot video of the recovery operation on GVA's website: Incident sortie de piste 13 décembre 2023
I'm surprised that the airport fire service appear to have carried out this recovery themselves using their own equipment!
Is it normal for an airport fire service to hold this level of equipment and speciality? Not only is the kit very expensive to purchase and maintain but the training for the crews is significant.
I'd have expected this to be outsourced to a specialist contractor.
Don't get me wrong - I think it's great that they have it and use it to such good effect - it's just that i'm surprised.
Sorry for thread drift.
You should've posted this last week.
